INSIDE COAT-POCKET.

Specification or" Letters'Patent.

Application filed January 24, 1912, Serial No. 673,176. Renewed May 24,1913. Serial No. 769,763.

' resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in InsideCoat-Pockets, of which the following is a specication. Y

My invention relates to improvements in pockets and more specifically toimprovements in an inside coat pocket in which is provided asupplement-al pocket or compzlirtment for the reception of a pencil orthe li (e.

The object of my invention is the production of a pocket of thecharacter mentioned which will be of improved construction, one whichmay be provided in a coat with ease and expedition and hence at a lowcost, and one which will be of neat and finished appearance andefficient in use.

@ther objects will appear hereinafter.

With these objects in view, my invention consists in the combinationsand arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

My invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanyingdrawings forming a part of this specification, and in .which- Figure lis a fragmentary view of a coat lining showing the first step employedin the application of a pocket thereto embodying my invention, Fig. 2 isa cross section of the construction shown in Fig. l, except that thelayer or portion which is attached to the lining and which is shown inupright position in Fig. 1, is shown folded down in Fig. 2, this beingthe next step in the construction of the pocket, Fig. 3 is a viewsimilar to Fig. 1, illust-rating the next kstep in the construction ofthe pocket, Fig. 4 is a section similar to Fig. 2, illustrating the stepsucceeding that illustrated in Fig. 3,

fFig. 5 is a view similar to Figs. 1 and 3,

illustrating the step following that shown in Fig. 4, Fig. 6 is a crosssection thereof,

FiO. 7 is a fraomentar front view of thev C c Y coat lining showing thecompleted pocket varranged therein, and Figs. 8 and 9 are secin 'thislining and which constitutes the sub.- ject matterv of this invention,comprises inner and outer layers 2 and 3 which are sewed'together, asshown, at their peripheries except the outer edges thereof which aresewed to the lining 1 'at 4 and 5 respectively, the mouth or upper edgeof the pocket registering withv a slit 6 which is provided in saidlining. The supplemental pocket is formed by anarrow layer 7 which ofthelayer 2, the upper edge of the layer 7 being stitched or sewed, as at8, to the lining l, the stitching 8 being positioned below thestitchings 4. In order to gain access to the supplementalpocketthestitchings 4 closing the mouth of the said supple- Figs. 7 and8.

In the construction of the pocket the layer 2 is first secured to thelining l by stitchings 4, as clearly shown in Fig. 1. The layer 2 is'then bent upon itself, as shown `in Fig. 2, and the supplemental layer 7secured by stitchings 8 with the edge thereof to be attached, disposedin close proximity with and parallel to the attached edge of layer 2, asshown in Fig. 3. Layer 7 is then folded upon itself, as shown in Fig. 4,whereupon the layer 3 is secured to the lining 1 by stitchings 5 withits edge to be attached arranged in close proximity to and parallel withthe attached edges of layers 2 and 7. The slit 8 is then formed in thelining l disposed intermediate the adjacent edges of layers 8 and 7 and2, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. Next, the layers 2, 3 and 7 are forcedthrough the slit 6 to the dotted'line position shown in Fig. 6,whereupon the edge 9 of layer 7 is sewed to the layer 2. rIhe layers 2and 3 are then arranged with their peripheries registering, whereuponthe same are sewed together, as shown, it being seen that in thisstitching of the layers 2 and 3 together, the remaining lower andlongitudinal edges of theslayer 7 will be also secured to the layer 2 bythe same stitching as connects said layer 2 with the layer 3, as' shownin Fig. 7. The stitching 4-at the mouth of the supplemental pocket isthen removed as by cutting through the employment of a knife, thisoperation completing Ythe formation of the pocket.V

is secured at kits periphery to the front sidev mental pocket areremoved, as shown in gether with a supplemental pocket, the supplementalpocket being entirely independent of the main pocket. lt is the practiceat the present time, in the formation of a supplemental pocket in aninside coat pocket, to run a line of stitching xfertically through theWalls of the pocket adjacent one edge, thus forming a supplemental orpencil pocket at one edge of the nain pocket. 'Vith this practice,however, it Will b-e seen that the main pocket is decreased indimensions or in Width an extent equal to the Width or dimensions of thesupplemental pocket formed, this being objectionable in that theresulting inain pocket isdecreased in size to such an extent as to beinadequate to serve the purposes for which it is designed. ln the.present case this objection is overcome, by providing a supplementalpocket within the main pocket Without altered size thereof. Theresulting construction is neat and nished in appearance, the presence ofa supplemental pocket being unnoticeable from Without; and by extendingthe upper edge of .the layer 2 of the main pocket above the lower edgeof the slit, as shown, the gaining of access to the supplemental pocketis evidently facilitated.

.Vhile .l have illustrated and described the preferred forni ofconstruction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable ofvariation and modification Without departing from the spirit of theinvention. I, therefore, do not Wish to be limited to the exact detailsof construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variationsand modifications as come Within the scope of the appended claim.

Having described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is:

The combination with a sheet of material having a slit formed therein;of layers of material att-ached to the sides of said slit, one of saidlayers being so attached that the upperl terninal thereof projects abovethe lower side of the slit aforesaid; stitching connecting theperipheries of said layers; and a narrowed supplemental strip attachedto the outer surface of one of said aforementioned strips constituting asupplemental pocket, the opening of which is disposed below the lowerside of the slit aforesaid.

in testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing Witnesses.
